Artemis

When summer ends, life in Greece ripens towards the fullness and transformation of winter. Birds and animals are on the move and nature wears new colors as we discover Greece with goddess Artemis by our side, the Hellenic goddess of the hunt and wilderness. This package proves that the variety of Greek landscapes is attractive all year round. Start from a sightseeing in the cosmopolitan capital of culture, history and democracy, Athens. Visit ancient monuments that seem to spring from every corner with the most famous of them being the Parthenon and the new Acropolis museum collection. Greeks satirize the abundance of ancient Greek ruins by suggesting not to dig too deep or you might unveil a lost monument and find your house taken over by a museum. Continue your discovery with a mainland excursion and visit sites of great importance to the world heritage, such as Mycenae and Epidaurus, Delphi and majestic Meteora. Finish your journey with a taste of the Greek islanders’ everyday life, by joining a one day cruise to three traditional and beautiful Greek islands, Hydra, Poros and Aegina. Stroll down their beautiful alleys, smell the saltiness of the sea that encircles them and taste local delicacies.
